Chapter 1036
“What’s wrong? Are you not happy? Hadn’t you always wanted a child?” Sophie asked. What’s with the look on his face now? Is he not happy?
“Of course, I’m happy! But does that mean I can’t touch you anymore starting today?” After the initial burst of joy, that practical question occurred to Tristan. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
We’re newlyweds, and I haven’t had enough of her. Yet, my days of abstinence are now here? This doesn’t feel good at all!
Sophie was wholly stunned. What a peculiar way of thinking! But that seems to be true. It’s said that special care is required during the first trimester.
“What should we do, then? Are you suggesting that we abort this child?” Dad has been looking forward to a grandchild.
At her question, Tristan’s expression changed drastically.
“No way! Having an abortion is exceedingly detrimental to a woman’s health. I’ll never allow such a thing to happen to you.”
He clutched her hands tightly.
Then, he continued confidently, “Don’t worry, for you’ll be free when the child is born. I’ll take care of him. All right, don’t think about anything now. Just focus on eating.”
Sophie started eating while Tristan went down to business. When she noticed that he had not taken a single bite of his food, she could not help questioning him, “What are you doing? If you don’t eat, the food will
go cold.”
“I’m browsing the internet for information on the things to pay attention to during the early stages of pregnancy.” I must take care of her wholeheartedly henceforth. Thus, I naturally have to know all that.
Tristan’s reply struck Sophie dumb.
Oh well, he attaches great importance to everything to do with me, much less when it’s such a colossal matter of having a child.
Tristan looked through some information, paying close attention to the food that suited pregnant women and otherwise. He planned to start cooking for her upon going home since she could not eat outside food often now that she was with child.
“That’s enough. Eat first and continue browsing at home.”
“Okay.”
Only when Sophie had said as much did Tristan start eating. He scarfed down the food, and when he was done, he resumed browsing the internet again.
At that, words eluded Sophie.
Isn’t he being overly anxious? Every woman experience childbirth. He’s really being too worked up.
“I’m a medical student, Tristan. I know how to take care of myself. You don’t have to be so worried.” It’s truly unnecessary, and his behavior is breaking my heart.
“I know you’re amazing and can take care of yourself, but you’re my wife, so I’ve got to tend to you meticulously. Just entrust yourself to me with peace of mind.”
Verily, that’s all she needs to do.
“All right, then.”
Sophie could no longer be bothered to dissuade the man. It doesn’t matter as long as he’s happy. Anyway, he’s a responsible man in the first place.
Before leaving the restaurant, Tristan sent a message to the WhatsApp chat group with his friends.
It read: My wife is pregnant, guys. From now on, I’ll be focused on taking care of her. There’s no need to call me out for any gatherings.
The other three men in the group chat went silent.
They were all stupefied. Whoa! Sophie is already pregnant in such a short time? Mr. Tristan is really a force to be reckoned with!
After sending the WhatsApp message, Tristan did not bother responding to his friends’ replies in the group chat. Instead, he took Sophie’s hand and headed home with her, determined to tell William about the good news.
Isn’t this something Dad has been anticipating all along? Now, his wish has finally come true. He’ll definitely be over the moon!
Throughout the drive, the smile remained on Tristan’s face.
He was on top of the world right then.
Seeing him in seventh heaven, Sophie was also in a good mood. It was only natural for her to be elated as there was a new life in her belly, one that belonged to them both.
Soon, they arrived at the Lombard residence. When William learned about the good news, he immediately lit a candle in gratitude.
“This is great! Ysabelle is the only descendant of the Lombard family in this generation, but there’ll certainly be more children in the future!”
Ysabelle caught wind of the good news as soon as she arrived home. She hugged Sophie tightly.
“You’re simply incredible, Sophie! It’s only been a while since you’ve gotten married!”
“Take it easy. Why are you being so reckless? Be more careful in the future. Now that Sophie is pregnant, all of us have to be mindful and take good care of her.” Sarah pulled Ysabelle aside.
At everyone’s concern, a wealth of warmth suffused Sophie.
In truth, the Lombard family is very much easy to get along with. Before I was pregnant, they already treated me beyond well.
“I’m fine, Sarah.”
“Tell me whenever you crave something, Sophie. I’ll cook it for you.” It seemed that it was all Sarah could do.
“Okay. Thank you, Sarah.”
“You’re all to be more careful hereafter. Don’t bump into Sophie. She’s now the queen of our family. No one is allowed to make her angry. Sophie, tell me if Tristan were to make you mad. I would teach him a lesson for you,” said William.
“Sure. Thank you, Dad.”
“Grandpa, do you want a grandson or granddaughter?” Ysabelle asked.

Grandpa has always been good to me, but he must also want a grandson, right? After all, isn’t the older generation most concerned about the continuity of the family line?
“I don’t mind either way. So long as the child is of the Lombard family, I’ll like him. What are you thinking? Am I not good to you?” William huffed.
Admittedly, I’m usually a bit rigid, but I’m not so antiquated that I value boys over girls!
Worried that Sophie would take it to heart, he immediately added, “Don’t feel pressured, Sophie. A boy or a girl makes no difference.”
“You’re the best, Grandpa!” Ysabelle threw herself into her grandfather’s arms. Indeed, Grandpa has been great to me. Why on earth did I have such a thought?
“With you pregnant and Tristan busy, Sophie, the two of you should just stay here. There are many people here. Hence, there’ll always be someone to take care of you.” William hoped they would live there, feeling that a family should stay together.
Tristan grasped Sophie’s hand. He did not want to stay there since they were newly married and needed their own personal space.
“I can take good care of Sophie, Dad. I’m still more used to living in our mansion. There are many people here, so it’ll be noisy.”
William went speechless, at a loss for words.
Gosh, how is it noisy here? While Sarah and Ysabelle live here, they’re as busy as a bee. They’ve got no time to make noise.
“Fine, then. Stay wherever you want. I’ve got no objections as long as you take good care of Sophie.” Ah, never mind. Young people have their own thoughts, so I won’t insist further. It won’t do me any
good anyway.
However, he then asserted, “But let me make this clear-Sophie must stay here for her confinement period. With that, we can all take good care of her and the baby.”
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes.” Tristan did not want to think about an issue far into the future. There was still a long time between pregnancy to delivery. When the child was born, they would have no time alone. Therefore, he was intent on being with Sophie exclusively before that happened.
